The first step in this type of installation is to determine acceptability of fireplace and chimney for use with a woodstove.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES FLOOR PROTECTION Floor protector must be 3/8" minimum thickness non-combustible material or equivalent. How to use alternate materials and how to calculate equivalent thickness An easy means of determining if a proposed alternate floor protector meets requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow this procedure: 1.
POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION If you decide to install your own stove, there are several hand tools you may need to do job.
